THEODORE IP. BYRAJVI, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR T0 GERTRUDE J". BYRAM, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN.

LADIrE-BOW'L.

Application filed May 24, 1915.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THEODORE P. BYRAM, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ladle-Bowls, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings. I

This invention comprehends certain new and useful improvements in foundry tools and appliances, and relates particularly to an improved construction of bowl for ladles for receiving and pouring molten metal, or for other purposes.

The invention has for its primary ob ect a simple, durable and efficient construction of device of this character, the parts of which are so formed and assembled that relatively great economies are effected in the manufacture, while at the same time the parts are securely held together and may be very quickly and easily assembled.

The invention has for a further object an improved device of this kind, in the manufacture of which expensive machinery, such as stamping machines and slow and expensive processes are unnecessary, whereby the economies above referred to may be efiected. And the invention also aims to generally improve devices of this class so as to render them more useful and commercially desirable.

With these and other objects in view, as will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain constructions, arrangements and combinations of the different parts that I shall hereinafter more fully describe and claim.

For a full understanding of the invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which,

Figure 1 is a vertical transverse sectional view of a ladle bowl constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 shows the two templets or blanks out of which the body portion of the bowl is formed. Fig. 2 is a detail View of the bottom. Figs. 3 and 4 are fragmentary perspective views showing specifically the manner of holding the bottom in place.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and desig- Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 30,192.

nated in all of the views of the accompanying drawing by like reference characters.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates the substantially cylindrical body portion of my improved ladle bowl, the same being formed in the present embodiment of the invention of two sheet metal templets 2, of the initial form illustrated in Fig. 2. These templets are rolled and riveted together at their overlapping edges, as indicated at 3, so as to produce a complete body portion, the latter being formed in its upper edge, at diametrically opposite points as is customary, with pouring recesses 4, as shown.

It is to be particularly noted that each of the templets 2 in its blank form is formed in its lower edgewith incisions 5 which define lugs 6 designated to be bent up and inwardly, as best illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4, to form stops for the bottom 7 which is in the form of a substantially fiat disk, as shown. It is to be understood that any desired number of these lugs 6 may be provided, there being two for each templet in the present instance, one at about the'middle thereof and one near the lower corner, whereby there will be four lugs disposed in equi-distant relation to each other in the complete article.

In assembling the bottom 7 and body portion 1 of the bowl, the bottom 7 is inserted into the body portion from the lower end thereof, whereby its upper face will be engaged by the lugs 6 and subsequently the lower edge of the body portion 1 is turned inwardly or over against the bottom entirely around the margin thereof except that portion cut out for the lugs 6, so as to securely hold the bottom in position.

From the foregoing description in connection with the accompanying drawing, the mode of manufacture of my improved ladle bowl will at once be apparent. It is only necessary to cut by dies or the like the templets 2 and bottom 7, to roll the templets and rivet or otherwise secure them together to form the body portion 1 of the bowl, to turn up the lugs 6 to substantially right angular relation to the main wall of the body portion, to then insert the bottom 7 into the body portion from the lower end thereof, and to finally turn inwardly the lower edge of the body portion against the bottom to hold the latteroin place in connection with the lugs 6. It will thus be evident that'ladle 'bowlsembodying the improvements of my invention can be very easily and quickly manufactured and at a relatively low cost.

WVhile the accompanying drawing illustrates what I believe to'be the preferred, embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto but that various changes may be made in the construction, arrangements and proportions of the parts without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

What is claimed is:

1. As a new article of manufacture, the herein described ladle bowl consisting of a substantially cylindrical body portion formed at its lower edge with a plurality of incisions defining lugs, the lugs being turned inwardly above the remaining portion of the lower edge, and a bottominsertible into the body portion from the lower end thereof and adapted to abut with its face against said lugs, the lower edge of the body portion being turned inwardly around two substantially semi-cylindrical sections 7 secured together at their adjoining'edges, each of said sections being formed at its lower edge with a plurality of incisions defining lugs, the lugs being turned inwardly above the remaining portion ofthe lower edge and disposed in equi-distant relation to each other, and a bottom insertible into the body portion from the lower end thereof 7 and adapted to abut with its upper face against said lugs, the lower edge of the body portion being turned inwardly around'the margin and overlapping the bottom, as and I for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afliX my signature in the presence of two witnesses.- THEODORE P. BYRAM. Witnesses:
